Facebook pages and Twitter feeds of many residents of the Mitten State have been abuzz today about a parody graphic of the “U.S. Map According to Michiganders.”

The map, which has received close to 13,000 Likes on Pure Michigan’s Facebook page since being posted last evening, displays Michigan as a high five, with the south labeled as “Detroit” and the rest as “Up North.” The U.P., drawn as the shape of a deer or a rabbit, is its own entity, with its coastline dubbed as “Cold Beach.”

In the rest of the Midwest, the entire state of Ohio is shown as “Cedar Point” and all of Illinois is labeled as “Chicago.” The Wisconsin area is simply “Cheese Farms” and a playful jab is taken at the Minnesota accent with its depiction as “Minn-ah-soh-dah Dontcha Kno.”

Nearby Canada is shown as “Casinos & Cheap Meds,” with “Toronto ‘n Stuff,” “Unsettled Canadian Territory” and “Canadian Tundra” making up the rest of Canuck country. On the other border, Mexico is solely “Cancun.”

According to the map, Michiganders view the New England area as “New York City,” “White House” and “Boston, etc.” The Southern states are “Myrtle Beach,” “Disney” and “New Orleans.” And the middle of the U.S. is made up of “Tornado Alley,” “Beef Farms” and “Unsettled U.S. Territory.”

Further west, the map carves out “The Frozen Tundra,” “Vegas,” “The Mexican Border,” and “Hell (or the desert)”. Washington is “Seattle (or whatever),” Oregon is “Portland (or something),” and California is a mix of “Hollywood 90210” and “The Other Disney.”

Drifting in the ocean, Alaska is shown as a small white blip called “Who Cares.” Hawaii is labeled “not really a state” and the smattering of Caribbean islands are drawn as “Cruise Destinations.”

Michelle Begnoche, a spokesperson for Pure Michigan, said the site reposted the map on their Facebook page from Vintage Michigan.

"It's one of those things (where) we’re keeping our pulse on the chatter of Michigan news," she said. "I think fans like the tongue and cheek things and the lighthearted representations of who we are and what we represent."

Of the more than 1,800 comments the map has generated on the Pure Michigan page, many people agreed with the map’s humorous layout, while others knocked the mapmakers for showing Michigan more as a glove than the traditional mitten.

What do you think, Michiganders? Is this how residents of the mitten view the rest of the U.S.?
